So, I'm in the market for a 4-door salon, with about 10k euros to spend..
Car must meet the following criteria :
>fwd, manual
>2.0L max displacement ( 2.4 for a really good engine ) Petrol ( no diesel )
>reliability
>confort
>decent economy ( about 10-11l/100 km city is adequate )
I don't really care about performance, since I mostly do city driving.
What would you pick , to meet these criterias ?
So far I've been looking at the W203/204 C180 ( thirsty + rwd ), Audi A4 2.0tfsi ( not very reliable ), Volvo S40 ( not very reliable either ), Mazda 6 mps ( hard to find unmolested ), and the Honda Accord 2.0i-VTEC ( hard to find in general )
Why the fuck fwd and why petrol if you want an econobox?
An Audi A4 B8/B7 would be decent.

Fwd because the gubment forgets to clean the snow off the road. Most rwd are in deep shit in winter.
Petrol because I do alot of city driving

Absolute bollocks.

Yeah FWD gets stuck in snow just as badly as RWD. If you want a good snow car get something AWD but i`d recommend a Mercedes or a BMW and just buy decent winter tyres, they`re not that expensive, probably around 500 euros for a nice set, you`ll never have any problems. I`ve been driving RWD cars for the last 3 winters in northern Europe, no problems at all.

Dunno about Mercedes or BMW, the 1.8L( especially the supercharged one ) is thirsty as fuck ( up to 15L/100km ), and the 2.0L petrol from BMW doesn't get much praise on reliability ... Thoughts ?
why are you looking at cars like the mps mazda 6 when you don care about performance?
Just get an A4 with a smaller engine and maybe even quattro if snow matters and be happy

Most petrol cars will be thirsty for city driving, my 2.5 liter BMW gets about 12-13 liters/100km in the city. If you want economy get a 2.0 liter diesel Audi A4, VW Passat or BMW 320d, they get around 7l/100km in city.

Diesel is very bad for city. Short 5-10 minute trips, lots of bad traffic, not much time to heat up, not much place to rev the engine and unclog the injectors...
I would much rather have a thirstier, but less maintainance petrol, than an economical diesel with high maintainance..
